Best description of this case from tech-media was: "the oven".
Now, buy at your own leisure.
Cooler Master should change their name to "Oven Master" after this release.

I really love this case. I made some modifications of my own.
Installed six 140mm pwm fans, vertical gpu bracket, and had to resort to SFX power supply because of clearance limitations.
Air flow isnt an issue anymore, but the case is pretty much at its limits space-wise giving me headache when I need to install or remove a component.

That's a lot of fans! Looks like you got 2 exhaust fans in the base and 2 intake fans in the roof, and then 2 fans on the front panel of your AIO that I guess is working as intake fans. It seems strange to me to put 2 fans on the base as exhaust fans, especially when the exhaust air flow is being restricted by exhausting so close to the table that it sits on - yet only to have that same exhaust air recirculated into the system at some point too, as it rises around the outside of the chassis. To me that doesn't look optimal. I would have done it the other way around and had the base fans as intake (and perhaps increased the height of the feet somehow so that clearance to the table surface is larger so that the fans can work more efficiently), and then the top two roof fans as exhaust. Did you try different fan configurations to see which works best?
I'd also cut out holes in the restrictive front panel in front of your AIO fans so that they can work more efficiently, that drilled hole metal front panel looks like a restrictive air nightmare, I imagine it's robbing your AIO of a lot of potential airflow. Mind you I cut massive holes in front of or behind (depending if exhaust or intake) for all of my case fans in my case (not the one reviewed here, totally different case) - I can't stand the idea of fans trying to work up close to bunch of restrictive holes. I just put magnetic dust filters over the top of the holes I cut out on the intake side, on the exhaust side I've just got gaping holes (nothing covering the exhaust fans - probably dangerous to pets & kids, but I have neither!).
